DIY Astro Guide: What Your Horoscope Means This Week, 8/15/2016
Resist the urge to get caught up in petty arguments that only leave you feeling deflated by the end of the work week. It’s just not worth it. Channel positive energy by dedicating more time to the things you love — be it working on your fitness or learning how to code. Before the dog days of summer come to an end, work up the nerve to reach out to your summer crush and make things officially official. Kick off the weekend with these happy hour-worthy boozy pops to try before summer’s end, and scroll down to see what the stars have in store for you in this week’s AstroStyle horoscope.
Cue the competitive spirit — some upcoming projects at work may challenge you to put on your thinking cap. Don’t you dare go playing the comparison game. While evaluating your competition is one thing, feeling down on yourself for not being the fastest, wittiest or most creative visionary on the block is a whole other ballgame. Meet with a mentor for support or join forces with collaborators that bring a variety of skills to the table.

Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Girl, this week is already shaping up to be a game-changing one. Whip out your favorite maxi dress (the one that always makes you feel like a goddess) and a pair of sparkly steppers. Come #HumpDay, all the good vibes will be on your side. Between having your photo snapped by a street style blogger, receiving a well-deserved promotion and getting asked out by your summer crush, you’ve got it made.

Libra: September 23 – October 22
Is there a rotten tomato in the bunch bringing Team Libra down? This week is all about weeding out any bad seeds that aren’t pulling their own weight. Follow your gut: If you think someone in your squad is in it for the wrong reasons, then it’s probably time to go your separate ways. Celebrate your true friends with an epic GNI (girls’ night in) and toast to being life-long soul sisters.

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
A little TLC is exactly what the doctor ordered. With the dog days of summer slowly coming to an end, a last-minute getaway couldn’t have arrived sooner. Can’t sneak away to Maui? A luxurious staycation at Chateau Scorpio will have to do, as you shamelessly binge watch Bachelor in Paradise and treat yo’self to an at-home spa day.

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Adventure awaits you, Sag! Stop making excuses and book that one-way ticket to the south of France. Whether you’re traveling for self-discovery or romance (or both), you’ll never know until you take a crazy chance. Make it a point to fully immerse yourself in the culture and disconnect from your various devices for a little peace of mind. Morning epiphanies come to those who wait.

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
New week = new chance to mix and mingle with people beyond your inner circle. Being the outgoing soul that you are, don’t be surprised if you hit it off with a mysterious stranger (or two). You could be standing in line at your local Whole Foods when the Prince (or Princess) Charming of your dreams makes a lasting first impression that can’t be ignored. Or perhaps you’ll find a collaborator in your seatmate during an overseas flight.

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Come Thursday, you’ll be feeling all sorts of fierce (cue the salsa girl emoji). The full moon in Aquarius will give you ALL the confidence you need to embark on a top-secret project or turn your side hustle into a full-time gig. But don’t stop there: If there was ever the right moment to ask that cute barista out on a date or dye your hair pink (‘cuz why not?!), now’s the time to do it.

Pisces: February 19 – March 20
This week is all about streamlining your workload and embracing the simpler things in life. While you may not be able to fully escape the dreaded nine-to-five grind, you can pencil in power naps, lunch breaks on the balcony and yoga hour. Better yet, ask your boss about the possibility of remote workdays (at your fave coffee house on the corner, no less), so you can ditch the cubicle life once and for all.

Say buh-bye to creativity block and hello to breakthroughs that could result in collaborations by the end of the week.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20
It’s time to break the mold, Taurus, and pursue someone who may not normally catch your eye. Just because you typically go for the tall, gorgeous, confident type doesn’t mean you can’t fall for the artsy-hipster living in Brooklyn (we’re looking at you, Dan Humphrey). Already coupled up? Ditch the predictable dinner and a movie date for bungee jumping or parasailing.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Another blasé weekend in Boringsville isn’t going to cut it, Gem! Playing tourist in your own hometown can only go so far before you start losing your momentum. Use this opportunity to take a cross-country road trip to visit a distant bestie or explore a neighboring city chock-full of hidden gems.
